A  good  deal  has  been  done  in  the  way  of  close  examination  of  the  Epis- 
tles of  Cicero  and  his  correspondents — though  the  subject  is  far  from  being 
exhausted  (the  special  literature  since  1878  has  been  appended  to  the  fol- 
lowing paragraphs) — but  the  general  questions  about  epistolography,  Greek 
and  Roman,  its  origin  and  peculiarities,  its  development  in  prose  and  poetry, 
have  thus  far  been  only  perfunctorily  treated. 

Origin  of  epistolography  in  the  schools  of  the  philosophers  (Isocrates, 
Epicurus). 

Its  relation  to  and  difference  from  \6yoi  and  SidKoyot. 
Different  ways  of  adaptation  of  the  Greek  models  in  Rome  (Sp.  Mum- 
niius,  Varro's  logistorici,  Horace). 
Combination  of  the  natural  and  the  artificial  epistolary  style. 
Extent  and  variety  of  Cicero's  epistolary  work. 
His  followers  and  imitators  (Pliny,  Apollinaris  Sidonius). 

Criticism  in  General.

Before  L.  Mendelssohn's  edition  with  the  critical  apparatus  is  published, 
no  final  judgment  can  be  given.     Nevertheless: 

What  is  the  value  of  the  Mediceus  of  the  Epistles  ad  Atticum  in  com- 
parison with  the  other  manuscripts  ? 

What  is  the  value  of  the  Vercellensis  of  the  Epistles  ad  familiares  in 
comparison  with  the  other  manuscripts  ?

Eussner's  dissertation  on  the  commentariolum  should  be  closely  examined. 


It  is  desirable  that  students  know  the  monographs  before  they  begin  to 
work,  in  order  to  avoid  doing  again  what  others  have  done ;  though  in  most 
cases  the  work  must  be  done  in  another  way.  Pamphlets  (dissertations  and 
school-programmes)  may  be  obtained  of  Focke  or  Simmel  in  Leipzig.  In 
reading  the  monographs,  it  offers  some  advantages  to  begin  with  the  latest, 
and  then  to  work  backwards  to  the  older  ones.

In  the  absence  of  Professor  Warren,  Professor  Hubner  of  the  University 
of  Berlin  has  kindly  consented  to  act  as  Examiner  in  Latin.  In  this 
capacity  he  has  provided  a  scheme  of  study  for  the  special  subject,  pre- 
viously announced — the  Epistles  of  Cicero, — will  criticise  the  papers  pre- 
pared by  the  advanced  students  of  Latin,  and  will  set  and  conduct  the 
written  examinations  required  for  the  Ph.  D.  degree,  when  Latin  is  taken 
as  the  principal  or  as  the  subordinate  subject. 

Emil  Hiibner,  who  is  one  of  the  foremost  epigraphists  of  our  day,  was 
born  in  Diisseldorf,  1834,  took  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  at  Bonn 
in  1854,  and  resided  for  several  years  in  Italy,  Spain,  and  Portugal,  where 
he  was  engaged  in  epigraphic  researches.  His  connection  with  the  University 
of  Berlin,  in  which  he  holds  the  position  of  Professor  of  Classical  Philology, 
dates  from  1863.  He  was  Dean  of  the  Philosophical  Faculty  in  1879-80. 
He  is  one  of  the  editors  of  the  Corpus  Inseriptionum  Lalinarum,  and  in  1885 
published  as  a  part  of  his  epigraphic  studies  the  monumental  work  entitled 
Exempla  Scripturae  Epigraphicae.  He  founded  and  for  many  years  edited 
the  Hermes,  one  of  the  leading  philological  journals  of  Germany,  to  which, 
as  to  other  periodicals,  he  has  contributed  many  valuable  monographs.  His 
four  Grundrisse  ( G.  der  r'&m.  Litieraturgeschichte,  G.  zu  Vorlesungen  uber  die 
lat.  Grammatik,  G.  zu  Vorlesungen  iiber  Geschichte  u.  Eneyclopddie  der  classischen 
Altertumskunde,  G.  zu  Vorlesungen  wber  die  griechische  Syntax)  have  found  wide 
acceptance,  and  some  of  them  have  passed  through  several  editions.  Among 
his  recent  contributions  to  the  literature  of  his  special  department  may  be 
noted  the  article  on  Roman  Inscriptions  in  the  thirteenth  volume  of  the 
Encyclopaedia  Britannica,  and  a  monograph  on  the  same  subject  in  Iwan 
Miiller's  Handbuch  der  classischen  Altertumswissenschaft,  Band  I.  He  is 
an  Hon.  LL.  D.  of  the  University  of  Cambridge  (England),  an  honor  con- 
ferred in  recognition  of  his  epigraphic  work  in  England,  where  he  has  many 
friends,  and  his  services  in  Spain  and  Portugal  have  won  him  merited  distinc- 
tion in  the  Peninsula.  Professor  Hiibner's  command  of  English  enables  him 
to  lend  ready  guidance  by  letter  to  inquiring  students,  and  his  uniform  cour- 
tesy and  kindness  give  assurance  that  he  will  respond  promptly  and  gener- 
ously to  any  appeal  for  help  on  the  part  of  students.
